Sound Waves – Grade 4 worksheet step by step.

## 🌊 PART 1: Label the Wave
You are given a diagram of a wave with letters A–F pointing to different parts. You need to label each part using these terms:
>
Amplitude – Wavelength – Trough – Crest
Let’s identify each part:
---
🔹 A → Crest
- The
crest is the highest point of a wave.
- Letter A points to the top of the wave — that’s the crest.
✔ A: Crest
---
🔹 B → Wavelength
-
Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crests (or two troughs).
- B shows the horizontal distance from one crest to the next crest — perfect!
✔ B: Wavelength
---
🔹 C → Amplitude
-
Amplitude is the height of the wave from the rest position (middle line) to the crest (or trough).
- C shows the vertical distance from the middle line up to the crest — that’s amplitude.
✔ C: Amplitude
---
🔹 D → Trough
- The
trough is the lowest point of a wave.
- D points to the bottom of the wave — that’s the trough.
✔ D: Trough
---
🔹 E → Wavelength
- Again, wavelength can also be measured from trough to trough.
- E shows the horizontal distance from one trough to the next trough — still wavelength.
✔ E: Wavelength
*(Note: Sometimes worksheets show wavelength from crest to crest OR trough to trough — both are correct.)*
---
🔹 F → Amplitude
- F shows the vertical distance from the middle line down to the trough.
- Since amplitude measures the maximum displacement from the rest position, it’s the same whether you measure to the crest or the trough.
✔ F: Amplitude
---
##
✔ Final Answers for Part 1:
>
A: Crest
>
B: Wavelength
>
C: Amplitude
>
D: Trough
>
E: Wavelength
>
F: Amplitude

## 📈 PART 2: Comparing Amplitudes of Two Waves
You’re shown
Wave 1 and
Wave 2, and asked:
> 1. Which wave has the
highest amplitude?
> 2. Which wave has the
lowest amplitude?
---
💡 What is Amplitude?
Amplitude = how tall or “big” the wave is from the middle (rest) line to its highest or lowest point.
-
Larger amplitude = louder sound (in sound waves)
-
Smaller amplitude = quieter sound
---
👀 Looking at the Waves:
-
Wave 1: The dots go only a little bit above and below the dashed center line. Very small up-and-down movement.
-
Wave 2: The dots go much higher above and lower below the center line. Big up-and-down movement.
→ So,
Wave 2 has a larger amplitude than Wave 1.

##
✔ Final Answers for Part 2:
>
1. Which wave has the highest amplitude? → Wave 2
>
2. Which wave has the lowest amplitude? → Wave 1
---
## 🎯 Summary:
Part 1 – Labeling:
- A: Crest
- B: Wavelength
- C: Amplitude
- D: Trough
- E: Wavelength
- F: Amplitude
Part 2 – Amplitude Comparison:
- Highest amplitude:
Wave 2
- Lowest amplitude:
Wave 1
